The Alternative Tuck Shop - Oxford

When it comes to breakfast or a quick meal in Oxford, this place is the best. It has become my go-to spot. Don't forget to pick olive ciabatta!

Unless you want a pre-made supermarket sandwich, you must pay at LEAST £4 for a sandwich in Oxford. The Alternative Tuck Shop has prices similar to upmarket chains such as Pret-a-Manger, but the sandwiches here are made to order, to your requirements (e.g. I usually want some salad filling, but without tomato), and the sandwiches are bigger, with more filling. As lots of other reviews have said; service here is swift, efficient, and friendly, there is a very wide choice of fillings and a wide choice of breads (e.g. plain, olive, or tomato ciabatta). There's a good reason why there is usually a line of people outside the door.

Great food and speedy service Always a queue so that tells food and value good Can't really say great atomosphere as you need to wait outside for order if busy but staff friendly

This small and bustling shop is perfect for grabbing sandwiches, pastries, and a few other options to go. They offer great prices too. I purchased a hummus with falafel bagel, a croissant, an apple strudel, and a veggie samosa.

I frequent this restaurant often when I am working in Oxford, it is a fantastic place.
